Answer:  The answer is 80%.


Step-by-step explanation:  Let us define the following events.

B = the event that the shirt is blue,

G = the event that the shirt is green

and

S = the event that the shirt is striped.

So, n(B) = 8,  n(G) = 7,  n(B and S) = 5, n(G and S) = 4.

n(S) = 5 + 4 = 9.

We have

n(B\cup S)=n(B)+n(S)-n(B\cap S)=8+9-5=12.

Therefore, the required probability is

p=\dfrac{n(B\cup S)}{8+7}=\dfrac{12}{15}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8=80\%.

Thus, the answer is 80%.

Damon can flip 5 pancakes in 20 seconds,
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

24 + 30 = 54 pancakes flipped in 2 minutes :)

Step-by-step explanation:

damon = 5 pancakes in 20 seconds

we do 20 x 3 and 5 x 3 to find how many pancakes he can flip in a minute

15 pancakes and a minute, we then multiply them by 2 to get the amount for 2 minutes

30 pancakes flipped in 2 minutes

Hailey = 2 pancakes in 10 seconds. to make it an equal amount of pancakes per second with damon, i will multiply them by 2 to have 4 pancakes in 20 seconds

we will then do 4 x 3 and 20 x 3 to find out how many pancakes per minute

then we multiply by 2 for 2 minutes

(3,2)..... x1 =3, y1=2

(-3,4).... x2=-3, y2 =4

Slope=(y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

Slope=(4-2) /(-3-3)

Slope =2/(-6)

If f (x)=3x, g(x)=x-3, and h(x)= square root of x, find (fogoh)(25)
Lelu [443]
(f o g o h)(x) = f { g [ h(x) ] }

Which means: apply first function h, then apply function g to the result, and finally apply  function f to the new result.

h(25) = √25 = 5

g(5) = 5  - 3 = 2

f(2) = 3(2) = 6.

Answer: 6

I really really really really really really really really need help
Effectus [21]

The answer would be 3.8.

So, to get 3 to 4, you would have to multiply 3 by something to get to 4. So you would divide 4 by 3 and get 1.3. So then you would divide 5 by 1.3 to solve for k, since k times 1.3 equals 5.

5 ÷ 1.3 = 3.8.
